Open AccessPre-stroke glycemic variability estimated by glycated albumin predicts hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Glycemic variability has been shown to be correlated more with oxidative stress than chronic hyperglycemia. We evaluated the impact of pre-stroke glycemic variability measured using glycated albumin (GA) on he...

Open AccessSimultaneous monitoring of the middle cerebral and basilar arteries to detect right-to-left shunts using transcranial Doppler by agitated saline administration
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is an easy, non-invasive, and real-time monitoring device for detecting right-to-left shunts (RLS). Nonetheless, it has limited benefits in patients with poor temporal windows. There...

Open AccessHigh glycemic albumin representing prestroke glycemic variability is associated with hemorrhagic transformation in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis
We evaluated the impact of prestroke glycemic variability estimated by glycated albumin (GA) on symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (SHT) in patients with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Using a multicenter...

The longer the antithyroid drug is used, the lower the relapse rate in Graves’ disease: a retrospective multicenter cohort study in Korea
Current literature suggests 12–18 months of antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment for patients with Graves’ disease, but the risk of relapse is high. Although some studies reported better outcomes of long-term ATD ...
